Biography | |
I have been an artisan for over three years creating inspired pieces of art using only the highest quality beads; using sterling silver, swarovski crystals, borosilicate, and dichroic glass beads from around the world. Each handcrafted item is a unique wearable work of art.
Swarovski crystals: are Australian man-made crystals that are a combination of natural minerals and quartz sand. They are fired, then slowly cooled. They have a superior quality of cutting and polishing that sets them apart form other crystals. Light enhances the beauty, as a silvery glow of spectral brillance can be seen.
Borosilicate (boro) is a very unique and specialized type of glass. It is made from different precious metals, such a liquid silver, gold, and titanium, which enhances the color palette. This glassware was originally developed for the space industry because of it's durability. Glass artists are now using the same technique to produce gorgeous colorful pieces that are musch stronger than regular glass beads.
Dichroic glass is very similar to borosilicate. Dichroic glass is very similar to borosilicate. It is defines as the property of having more than one color, especially when viewed from different angles. It's beauty and intesity of color, shimmer as the color of each piece changes when it moves and light strikes it.
If you would like to buy a set to match one of my pieces I will happily create it, all you have to do is ask!
Shipping and handling: All jewelry comes in a bubble padded envelope and carefully placed in a padded jewelry box for protection. I ship everyday. Shipping is $2.95 and free for each additional item when payed for at the same time.
